How to eliminate toxins from your body with a detox bath and prepare your skin for tanning!
If you love pampering yourself and treating yourself to moments of relaxation, you know that a hot bath is a real cure-all. Yet, with a few small adjustments, this wellness ritual can become essential for eliminating toxins , purifying your body and soul, and... preparing your skin for tanning!
Every day, through the air we breathe and the food we eat, we come into contact with numerous toxins and heavy metals. Mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium are also absorbed through the skin, damaging our bodies and leading to varying consequences depending on the individual. When enriched with the right ingredients, a detox bath has the power to:
- facilitate the detoxification process;
- stimulate the excretory organs that eliminate toxins and waste products from the body;
- act on a physiological level by stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation;
- improve muscle and nerve function;
- reduce inflammation;
- strengthen the immune system.
But what do you need to prepare a detox bath ?
One of the most effective natural elements for detoxifying the body is Epsom salt , rich in magnesium; combined with baking soda, particularly useful for identifying and neutralizing toxic radioactive particles that settle on the skin, it creates the perfect ritual for eliminating toxins from the body.
Preparing a detox bath with Epsom salts and bicarbonate of soda is very simple, all you need to do is:
- fill the tub with hot water;
- sprinkle 2 cups of baking soda on top;
- add 2 cups of Epsom salt;
- mix the ingredients thoroughly with the water.
At this point, all you have to do is soak in the tub for 20-50 minutes. If you like, you can add 5-10 drops of eucalyptus, lavender, rosemary, peppermint, or thyme essential oil: they will infuse the water with a pleasant scent and act as relaxing, antiseptic, antibacterial, and pain-relieving agents.
Remember to drink plenty of water before and during your detox bath to counteract its dehydrating effects. Also, once you're done, rinse with cool water to further boost your circulation. Try to get out of the tub slowly and avoid sudden movements (you may feel dizzy).
In addition to detoxifying the body, this bath relieves joint and muscle pain and may even aid weight loss. However, detox baths should be avoided during pregnancy and are not recommended for those with heart problems, blood pressure, or diabetes.
